Help needed with Orbi RBK50!
Hello everyone. I have a three bedroom apartment that is approx. 1,500 square feet. The only [active] coaxial hookup is in one corner of the apartment. It's not an ideal spot, but it's what I have to...
1. Do I need a second satellite? No, the router alone can cover around 30 feet. Since you have the router at one end and need a satellite at the opposite end, this will work fine. I have a similar placement.
2. If I do, is my proposed layout ok? No need for S1. Put base at Start and a satellite at S2. 30 feet is recommended in between them to begin with depending upon building materials.
3. Could adding a second satellite hurt my performance at all? Yes. You can't have too many over lapping wifi sources to close together.
